Can Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor use KI BMS directly?

Yes, via the MCP server. It's a stdio JSON-RPC server that wires into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-aware client in five lines of config. The list of tools matches your data model 1:1 - whatever a CRUD type exposes in the UI is exposed identically to the agent.

Do agent calls share the same auth + access controls?

Yes. The MCP server authenticates with the same JWT or PAT a human session uses. Sharing rules, org membership, rate limits, suspicion bans - all of it applies. There's no "agent backdoor" that bypasses the access matrix.

Is there an audit trail for agent actions?

Yes. Every mutation goes through the same audit-log path as a UI click. The transport (UI / API / CLI / MCP) is recorded as channel metadata so you can filter "what did the agent do this hour" from your account history.

Can I rate-limit an agent separately from a human?

Per-token rate limits apply, so you can issue an agent its own PAT and cap it independently. The shared user-level bucket also caps total throughput, so a runaway loop can't drain your whole account. The CLI's auto-update channel marker means you can also see in audit which version is calling.

Does the MCP / API surface cost extra?

No. Same plan, same surface. We don't paywall the agent - it's the same product, the same schema, the same access gates. If a plan can do X in the UI, it can do X via MCP.

KI BMS ships an MCP server you can wire into Claude Desktop or any MCP client in five lines. The same auth + access gates apply, the same audit log records every action, the same rate limits apply. NextStep HR doesn't currently expose this surface - that's the gap.

At a glance

NextStep HR and KI BMS solve different problems - and they're different kinds of offering. NextStep HR is KI-driven job-ad distribution and social recruiting: pick the right channels data-first, optimise the ad, fill the top of funnel. Access and pricing aren't openly published, and the offering increasingly looks like a done-for-you service (managed / consulting) rather than a tool you simply sign up for and run. KI BMS is the opposite in format: a self-serve product with public pricing (€0 / €1 / €10 per month), a free tier and self-onboarding - and, in substance, the applicant management afterwards (pipeline, KI pre-sort with reasoning, structured interviews, auto-mails, GDPR retention). Short version: if you want someone to run your reach for you, NextStep HR is a candidate. If you want an affordable tool you start and own yourself today, it's KI BMS.

Agent surface

What 'agent-friendly' actually means in practice

KI BMS ships an MCP server, a CLI, and drop-in clients in 15 languages. They're auto-generated from the same schema your UI uses; the auth, the access gates, the rate limits, the audit log all apply identically whether you're clicking buttons or calling the API. NextStep HR doesn't currently expose this surface, which is the gap a serious agent integration trips over - the agent ends up scraping the UI through a browser, which is fragile, slow, and silently bypasses everything below.

When to pick which

Pick KI BMS when

You want a tool you start and own yourself today - no sales call, with public pricing and a free tier.

Your bottleneck isn't too few applications but too many unsorted ones - you need reading, scoring, replying.

You want KI pre-sort with reasoning, structured interviews and auto-mails as a default.

GDPR retention with auto-anonymisation and an audit log are mandatory, not nice-to-have.

Pick NextStep HR when

You don't want to run reach yourself but have it managed for you - someone picks channels, optimises the ad and steers the budget.

Your real problem is reach: simply too few or too poorly-matched applications arrive.

You want to reach passive talent via social and niche channels, not just the big job boards.

You have budget for a managed service and an existing applicant management that receives the applications via API.
